Parrish Farms is based out of the rural town/village of Oquawka, Illinois. We have been raising goats since January 2009 and registered stock since 2010. The farm consists of Registered Show, Milk, and Breeding Quality Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats (ADGA & AGS), our Lab/Pyr Cross Pup (Villa), our PB Great Pry pup (Fozzy), and 4 outdoor cats (Stripes, Tasha, Midnight, Rosco), we lost our Mastiff Rocko this spring, RIP our big boy. We got back into Nubians in 2013 with AM and PB Nubians. The owners of Parrish Farms are Jennifer & Justin Parrish. Jennifer graduated from Iowa State University in May 2008 with a B.S. in Animal Science and a B.S. in Dairy Science and is the one who runs, owns, and manages the farm. Jennifer is also a Nutritionist specializing in goat nutrition with her own lines of goat feeds. Jennifer also works with dairy and beef cattle nutrition, PNP Nutrition.

The goal for Parrish Farms is to hand select genetically and/or phenotypically superior animals for our herd.

Parrish Farms emphasizes structural correctness, maternal traits, balance, and superior pedigrees.

The Goat Herder's PrayerThis night, the feedin' all now done, I bow my head in Prayer, And Thank you, God, with my whole heart, for always being there. I remember this morning, as the sun first broke, when I called in the herd, How precious it was to hear YOUR voice ... like my goats listening for MY word. They ran from scattered all about, excited just to see me, Me standing there beside the barn with buckets of feed. I know they place their trust in me, to meet their needs and care. This 'ol barn would be an empty shell were I not waiting for them there. Ain't that how it is with us, God? Like between them goats and me? Life's journey would be so empty, IF YOU weren't there with me. So I thank You, Lord, for every goat that you've placed in my care, And for every lesson that I've learned in this journey that we share. For the miracle of life ... and ... of sacrifice that some are called to serve For we are all your creatures ... together here, And You ... The Master Shepherd. (Anonymous)
